This is not a rerun.
Yes, Charlie Sheen is back partying full-time, snorting cocaine and smoking crack, in a déjà vu scenario of when he was fired from Two and a Half Men.
But this time there is no Chuck Lorre to force a crisis and Charlie is not going to lose his job on his new cable hit Anger Management, Breaking Celebrity News has learned exclusively.

“It’s amazing how much Charlie parties but he’s still able to go to work and perform,” a source told Breaking Celebrity News. “The show tapes multiple episodes at a time and Charlie is somehow able to still deliver his best.
“It’s almost impossible to understand when you realize how hard he parties.”
As Breaking Celebrity News reported exclusively, Sheen is back using drugs on a daily basis, with an insider revealing: “For at least the last eight months or so Charlie has been having a quarter to half an ounce of cocaine delivered to him every single day and was spending nearly $2,000 a day on drugs. Sometimes he'd even get two to three quarters of cocaine in one day."
It was that type of drug consumption that led to his infamous showdown with the show’s execs and Lorre, the creator of Two and a Half Men. That disaster culminated in Sheen being fired, suing, and settling for a considerable sum of money (#winning!).
Now, however, Sheen is getting no static from FX, his new network.
“He shows up, he does his job, he’s given them a hit show,” the source said. “The ratings triggered a clause that picked up the show for another 90 episodes.”
